Go back to what you did and was successful – Asamoah Gyan to Ibrahim Danlad

Published on: 02 July 2024

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has advised Ibrahim Danlad to return to the fundamentals after departing Asante Kotoko following an eight-year tenure.

Gyan is confident that the 21-year-old can reproduce the qualities that led to his success, including earning numerous national team call-ups, including to the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Danlad joined Kotoko as a teenager and progressed to become the first-choice goalkeeper and eventually the captain before leaving the club.

Gyan shared his advice with Danlad on Wontumi Radio, emphasizing, "It's clear to everyone that your form has declined since your return from the World Cup.

“Remember all the things that helped you to be successful in your loans and became a number one at Asante Kotoko.

“You are still young, you can do more than what you did over the years. The sky is your limit.”

The last two seasons were difficult for Danlad as he seemed to have lost the trust of his coaches, who preferred former Accra Lions goalkeeper Frederick Asare.
